What is the working principle of a voltage regulator?
1 Answers
The working principle of a voltage regulator is: the speed of the generator will vary with the engine speed. During vehicle operation, the engine speed changes over a wide range, and the terminal voltage of the generator will also vary significantly with the engine speed. Both power supply to electrical equipment and charging the battery require a stable voltage. To keep the voltage consistently at a certain value with minimal fluctuation, it is necessary to regulate the generator's output voltage. More information about voltage regulators is as follows: 1. The voltage regulator (abbreviated as AVR) is specifically designed for AC brushless generators equipped with fundamental/harmonic compound excitation or permanent magnet generator excitation (PGM system). 2. The voltage regulator automatically adjusts the generator's output voltage by controlling the excitation current of the generator's AC exciter. The generator voltage regulator can be used for standard 60/50Hz and medium-frequency 400Hz generators operating either individually or in parallel.
